While there are any number of sites featuring public domain e-texts, this site stands out not so much for its content, but for its innovative Java reading applet. Visitors reading e-texts at this site do not have to settle for a sometimes difficult-to-read default display. Using the applet at the bottom of the viewing window, users can control the text size, font, and background color, picking a combination that makes reading easiest. The works featured at the site are listed by author name (best accessed via the site map link at the top right corner of the page), and include a number of classic works of (primarily) British and American literature, with an especially large collection of works by Charles Dickens. Entries for each author include several related sites (including webrings). From the site map page users can also perform keyword searches of the site's title and author listings, and access bookmarks, a helpful feature that allows readers to save their place in books between visits and return to where they left off.
